Fuel fraud allegations: Burk outlets taken to court over premium petrol
Consumer Protection has launched Supreme Court action against Western Australian Burk fuel outlets over allegations they passed off regular fuel as premium 95 and 98.
Press PLAY to hear Trish Blake explain why motorists should hold onto their Burk fuel receipts
Consumer Protection commissioner Trish Blake told 6PR Drive host Jamie Burnett that testing across multiple Burk sites revealed samples of both premium fuels were actually regular 91.
“If you have purchased fuel earlier in the year and you have receipts from that fuel, then hold on to those receipts and just keep them in a safe place. If the court awards a compensation scheme, then we’ll be letting everybody know about how they might be able to make a claim against that scheme”, Blake said.
